Luftwaffe losses CD "Anglo-Deutsches Erinnerungs Gruppe"

[Peter D Evans]

I think this is a great idea put forward by Andreas and Mikael has raised some very good points. I for one would be willing to pay/subscribe especially given that I (and many others here) know from first hand experience the time and cost involved with undertaking all aspects of research.

But how do you stop that data becoming available to those who have either not paid/subscribed, or stop unscrupulous individuals selling the data by other means? The simple answer with both these points is that we can't as it's the one aspect of this wonderful medium we all use and enjoy that cannot be policed or moderated.

Other than that, I'd support this project best I can and ensure it gains good coverage over on the LEMB...

One solution to give access without allowing easy copy will be to build "image files" covering say 50 losses, and link each loss of the database to the page displaying it.

Then a search will return a list of pages, with the line number, but by clicking on it you will see the good thing on the screen but could not download it easily into another database, you will have to type it again.

Another idea is to limit access to known reliable people. But you can never be sure...
